Knitting Corner

So, where do you knit?

This is my Fair Weather Corner, for alfresco knitting when I get some leisure time and there's no rain. Not often that these things happen, but occasionally I get to sit out with some knitting and watch the girls play in the garden.

Heaven.

(Apologies if you've come over here from the Wicklow Knitters Ravelry Group, as this post is also in a thread over there.)




See my knitting chair?


See it now?



How 'bout now?

I especially like the strategically placed fishing net that holds the knitting. This was my daughter’s idea for when she’s on the swing and has nowhere to put down her snack.

Genius.

Now I’m just praying for a good summer.

Voluntold

Voluntold! Hah! What a fabulous word!

While browsing Grumperina's blog I followed a link to this knit beauty. Isn't that jacket something else? It's Ram's Horn Jacket from Norah Gaughin's Knitting Nature. Must get a look at that book sometime.

And on top of that, right at the bottom the piece, the writer mentions in passing that she got a friend to model the jacket and took the photos herself, instead of modelling herself and trying to direct the photography at the same time, or modelling the jacket on a dress form. Very useful tip.

But the real gem of the piece? She V O L U N T O L D the friend that she would be the model. Isn't that a great word?

Any other new words you've found in the blogosphere?
